On a windy day in June... the sun stands high in the sky...
roses are heavy under their load... I take my Diercke and study the map. I
memorize the way... following the course of the Rivers... first River
Elbe to the North Sea, along the coast of Europe... crossing the Atlantic Sea, I let the cathedral of Chartres to the left and Greenland on the
right hooves side...
... and follow the Saint Lawrence River...
sometimes difficult to find because of the puffy clouds
and suddenly... I find the Great Lakes... oh, I have winged too far...
and where is the 'circle'?
a bunch of butterflies shows me the way...
and there it is (thank you)... surrounded by birches:
here I find my sister... sweet Woodpecker from clan of the frogs
on her holidays in the woods by the reservoir (with an otter :)
"I bring you Happy Birthday wishes, sis!"
From me... the Deer from the clan of the butterflies.
Our mother, the Hawk from clan of the thunderbirds, prefered to gave birth in times of solstice.

Once upon a time I found in a horoscope by the Native American
that people who are born in times of the solstice love to fly... fly high... high like an eagle.

Well, its true :) love it.. to have space and a good visibility
Sweet Kristen is our host of this week's drawing challenge. Her theme is... striking... solstice.
For this theme I paint on a carton with the paintbox of my daughter and some colouring pencils. Add the cut out of deer. Tell you a story of my family... my clan.
Please wing high to dear Kristen's amazing place
to celebrate solstice with her and all the other wonderful artists.
Deer, Hawk and Woodpecker
Wish you a weekend full of light!
(and thank you very much for your birthday wishes... you just made my day:)

NOW i'm puzzled. did you really fly or did you imaginary fly? not that the one is less moving than the other, but perhaps you are traveling?
AntwortenLöscheni also think you have a sense of humour?
well, anyway. with great labour (of love) i flew {myself} to the post office this morning and i can well and truly say the parcel is traveling too.
this means you'll have to celebrate your birthday again, let's say, by the end of next week??
will you?
g o o d!

AntwortenLöschenThanks Ariane

Dearest Ariane! Deer, Hawk and Woodpecker have some fine footwear going on. They are a practical family I must say. For the times they are not in flight, they are walking the woods and mountain paths and river beds and rose gardens, delving into nature and all that this earth delights us with. They gather information and ideas and are then able to tell the most amazing and true stories. You are a grand story teller mistress, my friend. The very second I saw the deer on the stick my heart skipped a beat because I knew I was in for some wonderfulness. And I was. Thank you for the wonderfulness. Norma, xo
AntwortenLöschenDear, deer, Ariane, a wonderful story with beautiful pictures! x Leena
AntwortenLöschenDearest Deer, das hast du ja wieder mal einen fulminanten Höhenflug an Poesie in Wort und Bild hingelegt, wunder- wunderschön. Was soll ich sagen: Roter Habicht ist begeistert und dreht noch mal eine Extrarunde über so einen schönen post.
